Egan said he's going to be at the Bush booth. Ask him if he's going to Targhee in Dec, he'll laugh and he will explain why. Everyone in the Boston area should go if for nothing else to get the free schwag/lift tik dicounts offered by many of the resorts and equipment retailers.

No love for any NYC events? I'll be at the Warren Miller show sunday but the Stratton, Gore and MS shwag really doesn't do me any good.

Play hooky one day and make a day trip during the week sometime during the season. But then you would have to bring home your skis! I used to go, but now I don't cause I have the same attitude towards the schwag.

I've not been to the expo before, so wanted to ask what it's all about??? I suspect there are significant discounts for season passes and gear... the odd booth babe?

While I am odd and will be at the booth, I'm no babe. Sorry!

John

p.s. The Boston Ski Expo is a mix of gear sales frenzy, resort deals and promotion, and a huge pre-snow get together with like-minded skiers and riders. Unless I am confusing it with something else.

p.p.s. We love New York too! I visit the metropolitan area, Strong Island and upstate a few times a year.

Pretty much every mountain in the East shows up and has a booth. Some Western, Canadian and European resorts Also. Most major equipment and clothing manufacturers have booths. It is the biggest Boston Ski industry trade show of the year. Ski market is the major retailer that anchors the show. They empty out thier shops and put it on tables to sell. See you there.

Yeah sure, I bet the next thing you're going to say is that some of your best friends are New Yorkers :shock:

Nice meeting noski last night. The Sugarbush booth was looking good. In general the VT area was rocking. 8)

Yup- I was there! Our 10 foot long landscape banner looked really nice. Egan spent a fair amount of time admiring that fine skiing picture (kidding, he is actually a pretty humble guy!)
